Is this your first book?
How many books have you written this far?
Forever and a Night is the first book I’ve published, but I’ve written many over the years. In my vampire series there are a total of four written so far. Three are yet to be published. I intend to write at least six before the series is complete.
“Forever and a Night” is a romance about a vampire running from a human, only to fall in love with another. Would you tell us more about the plot?
My vampires in my Forever and a Night series evolved from humans due to a blood disease that makes it impossible for them to survive without the blood of their sire species. They are mammals, very much like humans, but throughout their evolutionary process they developed adaptations necessary for survival such as fangs, physic and telekinetic abilities. Their senses are more astute as well, especially the sense of smell. When they feed from humans they enchant them then erase their memories of the encounter afterwards. In the case of my heroine Mia, she has no idea Nathan has fed from her until he reveals this to her later in the story.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I’ve had a passion for romance reads since early high school. You could always find a Harlequin romance in my book bag. In 1994 I decided to try my hand at writing, just for fun. I really sucked at it in the beginning, but I joined a local writers group and slowly began to improve.
In 2014 I decided to get serious about writing. I wanted to publish something. So I wrote Forever and a Night, the first in a vampire romance series. I just finished book two and am in the process of looking for an agent.
Every spare moment I have is devoted to writing or reading. Writing is in my blood and I wake up every day excited for the next chapters.
I live in Avoca, AR with my oldest daughter, Jessica, my husband Robert and a cat named Felix.
